A brief history of the model:
Hall’s Bulldog was a striking, purpose-built racing aircraft developed for the 1932 Cleveland National Air Races. Designed by Charles Ward Hall of the Hall aluminium Aircraft Corporation, it was an all-metal monoplane with a powerful radial engine and a sleek, low-drag profile. Despite its promising design and aggressive appearance, the Bulldog’s performance was limited by stability issues, and it never reached the success of other racers of its era. Nonetheless, it remains a standout symbol of 1930s air racing ambition.
